Looks like Liam is heading for Ullapool, at some speed !!

Sounds / looks like a tough route to race at this time of year. the updated route the day before the start Was that preplanned/expected? If not, that's a bit poor on the organisers part. That may be the basis of JH's minor off-route then, he said his GPS showed the right route taken there. Scott wa...

Raced it last year and some of the old snow pack was seven foot above the trail/road but the route was clear. Looking at the speeds of the leaders it is far from clear this year, they are just about to drop back into the valley then back up to 1500m on a road climb and just when you think it is all ...

I use Montane Terra trousers for travelling, cover what your wanting except cargo pockets.

Once I find something that reliably does the job I will be replacing it with the same when worn out but very often I find the manufacturers have stopped making it !
Latest casualties are the Revelate Pika and Viscacha, end of an era

I have made a start Reg, slept at Claerddu last night and rode back to Elan via Carnau today, currently eating cake in Rhayader

Toro on the bars as Sean said 36 hours on prog 6, Diablo on the helmet, perfect combo in my opinion.

I have been using Uberbike sintered pads in Shimano XT brakes for five years, they are reasonably priced and last well.

Safe travels, Winter Event won't be quite the same without you.

I am just hopeing that growler has more than one meaning

Looks like I should be along this weekend

As an example, in January, Chicken Legs of this parish found a 700km route running due south west from here and finishing on the Costa Blanca, I met him at Reus airport and we rode the 70km to my house where he spent the night. The following day I rode with him to the route and he carried on while ...

Duncan your clearly going to attract the "off-road biased scumbags" and your Spain C2C is very tempting but I can't make that week.

Off-road biased scumbags are so much more friendly as well
